How to use the summer watch | for Him

Summer has arrived and with it the heat and the desire for the beach and the sea. We take care of our body, but who thinks about our faithful watch? Yes, because most of the interventions carried out by our watchmaking department are carried out during or after the summer period when the damage is already done. I am talking about water infiltrations, both fresh and salt water. Having penetrated inside the watch, it causes the almost immediate blocking of the functioning with damage, sometimes very invasive even on the dial that requires an expensive intervention. The suggestion is, at the beginning of the season or holidays, to take your watch to your trusted service center where they will do the waterproof test and possibly replace the gaskets of the case back or the buttons/crown. Here, with a minimal expense, our companion will be happy to be able to follow us on any adventure. Below, some information on the waterproof scale and what type of use to make of it. We can read it by rotating the watch since it is printed on the case back: 3 atm (waterproof 30 meters) allows us to wash our hands safely; 5 atm (waterproof 50 meters) allows us to swim; 10 atm (waterproof 100 meters) allows us to dive and immerse ourselves. All this of course after having performed the water resistance test with a positive result. In any case, when you shower, the watch should always be removed, even if it is a professional diver, as there is a temperature range due to the water and the gaskets may not hold properly.
